<p>Question for anyone who knows: if for some reason when I apply for apartments, there is nothing but Cook apartments left, can I decline and instead apply for doubles or do I have to take an apartment now that I’m in the “selected” group?</p>
<p>^ i’m pretty sure you can decline. it is not a binding agreement until you physically pick the room you want.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>wow there are only that many apartments? i always thought there were more…i’m glad i got in then lol</p>
<p>just a couple questions:
so if you’re eligible, that guarantees your group an apartment? just wanted to check.
is there a difference in quality between the busch and cook apartments?</p>
<p>From the Rutgers website: </p>
<p>“Please note: The housing agreement is not binding until you select your space.”</p>
<p>If you are eligible, your group should be able to select an apartment.</p>

<p>where did you get the numbers for apartments? is that for Fall 2011-Spring 2012?</p>
<p>The numbers where on housing.rutgers.edu for those who applied for apartments. </p>
<p>Ehh. My number is near the higher end of the eligibility numbers, but i’m glad i made it.</p>
<p>How do you see the lottery #? I just sent in my housing app because I’ll be a first year freshman</p>
<p>Freshman aren’t in the lottery. You’ll get your housing assignment in August.</p>
<p>Ohh okay thanks. So if I just sent in the housing app should I get college ave since it was my first pick?</p>
<p>When did the housing app come out? If you sent it in right away chances are good that you will get your first choice.</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure they let people with lower numbers pick first.</p>
<p>darksonic the freshman housing application is different than the lottery. </p>
<p>freshman must submit a housing application; those who get theirs in early have a better chance of getting their first choice of campus. The lottery (for upperclassman) is when your lower number determines your pick choice once you have made a certain cutoff. Then you can actually choose your housing (based on making the cutoff for a certain housing, say doubles or apartments) sooner based on having a lower number.</p>
<p>Lottery notes: initial apartment cutoff (~1700) went to at least over 2000. Richardson filled up first, by around 2pm of 3rd day of general picks.</p>
<p>All Busch apartments were filled under lottery number 2000, by around 4pm 3rd day of general picks. </p>
<p>Rockoff, Newell, Starkey apartments were left after 2000. </p>
<p>Surprised that Rockoff did not fill earlier.</p>
<p>Please post final cutoff number if you hear of it for future reference.</p>
<p>Does Richardson go first because the apartments are nicest or because of location? They look pretty dated from the outside.</p>
<p>jerseygirl I’m pretty sure it’s due to location. Engineering and pharmacy majors, especially, like to live on Busch because they have a full class schedule and most of their classes will be on Busch by the third year.</p>
<p>I think engineers/pharmacy like Richardson becuase it is near to the SciMed library and you can walk to most of your classes easily.</p>
<p>Cook campus is really nice but you need an earlier start if you need to get to early morning classes on Busch. There are no apartments on Livingston.</p>

</p>
<p>lol this is definitely why</p>
<p>This may seem like a dumb question lol, but where is the housing application? I want to apply for housing as an incoming freshmen, but I can’t find a link on their housing website?</p>
<p>jazz try looking for the link on your enrollment pathway.</p>
